Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Not a bug, your directory is probably empty, so it's getting the realpath for "..".

Check it using the getFileName() method. :)
